Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, and in particular to a drinking water device for animal husbandry. Background Technology
[0002] Livestock farming is the artificial raising of animals such as pigs, cattle, sheep, and chickens, feeding and managing them to grow, and then obtaining products such as meat, eggs, and milk to meet people's needs. In the process of livestock farming, to ensure the healthy growth of livestock, it is necessary to provide them with sufficient drinking water; therefore, drinking water devices are an essential piece of equipment on livestock farms.
[0003] When using drinking water devices for livestock farming, staff first add enough water to the device for the livestock to drink. However, large livestock such as pigs, cattle, and sheep drink a lot of water, which may cause the water to be consumed too quickly. Therefore, existing drinking water devices for livestock farming often require staff to add water manually frequently. This not only increases the labor intensity of the staff, but may also cause the livestock to suffer from dehydration due to untimely water addition, leading to problems such as loss of appetite. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drinking water device for livestock farming to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a drinking water device for livestock farming, comprising a drinking trough and a control component; the control component is disposed on the drinking trough, and includes an inlet pipe, a control valve, a rubber ring, a limiting frame, a float, a fixing component, and a connecting pipe. The inlet pipe is installed on the outer wall of the drinking trough, the control valve is disposed on the inlet pipe, the rubber ring is fixed to the other end of the inlet pipe, the limiting frame is installed on the outer wall of the inlet pipe, the float is installed inside the limiting frame, the fixing component is disposed on the inlet pipe, and the connecting pipes are respectively installed on the side walls of the drinking trough, with one end of each connecting pipe penetrating through the side wall of the drinking trough.
[0006] Preferably, the fixing component includes a first bolt, a first connecting hole is provided on the limiting frame, a first threaded groove is provided on the outer wall of the water inlet pipe, and the first bolt passes through the corresponding first connecting hole and is threadedly connected to the corresponding first threaded groove.
[0007] Preferably, a cleaning component is provided on the inner wall of the drinking trough. The cleaning component includes a slider, a ball bearing, a scraper, and a limiting component. A groove is provided on the inner wall of the drinking trough. The slider is slidably connected to the corresponding groove. The ball bearing is respectively disposed on the slider. The scraper is connected to the slider. The limiting component is disposed on the drinking trough.
[0008] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to the upper part of the scraper, and a drain pipe is installed at the bottom of the drinking trough.
[0009] Preferably, the limiting component includes a limiting plate and a second bolt. The limiting plate is installed on the drinking trough, and a second connecting hole is provided on the limiting plate. The second bolt passes through the corresponding second connecting hole. A second threaded groove is provided on the outer wall of the drinking trough, and the second bolt is threadedly connected to the corresponding second threaded groove.
[0010] Preferably, a support frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drinking trough.
[0011] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, this utility model achieves automatic water replenishment through control components. When the water level in the drinking trough drops, the float descends with the water level and no longer blocks the water inlet pipe, allowing the water inlet pipe to replenish water into the drinking trough. When the water level rises to the preset height, the float rises and blocks the water inlet pipe again, stopping water replenishment. This eliminates the need for frequent manual water addition by staff, reduces labor intensity, and ensures that livestock have sufficient drinking water at all times. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0015] like Figures 1-5As shown, the present invention proposes a drinking water device for livestock breeding, including a drinking trough 1 and a control component 3, wherein the control component 3 is disposed on the drinking trough 1.
[0016] The control assembly 3 includes an inlet pipe 31, a control valve 32, a rubber ring 33, a limiting frame 34, a float 35, a fixing assembly 36, and a connecting pipe 37. The inlet pipe 31 is installed on the outer wall of the drinking trough 1. The control valve 32 is mounted on the inlet pipe 31. The rubber ring 33 is fixed to the other end of the inlet pipe 31. The limiting frame 34 is installed on the outer wall of the inlet pipe 31. The float 35 is installed inside the limiting frame 34. The fixing assembly 36 is mounted on the inlet pipe 31. The connecting pipes 37 are respectively installed on the side walls of the drinking trough 1, with one end of each connecting pipe 37 penetrating through the side wall of the drinking trough 1. The fixing assembly 36 includes a first bolt 363. The limiting frame 34 has a first connecting hole 361, and the outer wall of the inlet pipe 31 has a first threaded groove 362. The first bolt 363 passes through the corresponding first connecting hole 361 and is threaded into the corresponding first threaded groove 362.
[0017] In this embodiment, the control valve 32 can control the water pressure of the inlet pipe 31 so that the maximum buoyancy obtained by the float 35 is greater than the water pressure of the inlet pipe 31. In this way, the float 35 will block the inlet pipe 31 due to the rising water level in the drinking trough 1 and will not be blown open by the water pressure. The rubber ring 33 can better block the inlet pipe 31 when it comes into contact with the float 35. When multiple drinking troughs 1 are needed, two adjacent drinking troughs 1 can be connected together by using water pipes. At this time, the connecting pipe 37 of the drinking trough 1 located at the outermost edge can be sealed with a threaded pipe plug, and the lowest point of the inlet pipe 31 should be higher than the position of the connecting pipe 37. In this way, multiple drinking troughs 1 can be connected to the water resources through the connecting pipe 37 and share a water source.
[0018] When using water trough 1, connect one end of the inlet pipe 31 to an external water source, such as the main water pipe of the farm, and open the external water source valve. At this time, there is no water accumulation in water trough 1, and the float 35 is at the lowest position of the restraint frame 34 due to its own weight. Then, open the control valve 32 to allow water to flow into water trough 1 through the inlet pipe 31, and then into other connected water troughs 1 through the connecting pipe 37. As water continues to flow in, the water level in water trough 1 gradually rises. Under the action of buoyancy, the float 35 moves upward along the restraint frame 34. When the water level rises to a certain height, it will block the inlet pipe 31, thus stopping the water supply. When livestock drink water from the water trough 1, the water level drops, and the float 35 drops synchronously with the water level, no longer blocking the water inlet pipe 31. Therefore, the water inlet pipe 31 replenishes water to the water trough 1 until the water level rises back to the preset height, at which point the water inlet pipe 31 is blocked again, thus achieving automatic water supply.
[0019] When the float 35 gets stuck or clogs the inlet pipe 31, the limit frame 34 needs to be disassembled for inspection. At this time, use a wrench to unscrew the first bolt 363, remove the limit frame 34, and check whether the float 35 is damaged. If it is damaged, a new float 35 needs to be replaced. After completion, reinstall the limit frame 34, ensuring that the first bolt 363 is tightened and the limit frame 34 does not wobble.
[0020] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a cleaning component 4 is provided on the inner wall of the water tank 1. The cleaning component 4 includes a slider 42, ball bearings 43, a scraper 44, and a limiting component 46. A groove 41 is formed on the inner wall of the water tank 1, and the slider 42 is slidably connected to the corresponding groove 41. The ball bearings 43 are respectively disposed on the slider 42, the scraper 44 is connected to the slider 42, the limiting component 46 is disposed on the water tank 1, a handle 45 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the scraper 44, and a drain pipe 7 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 1.
[0021] The limiting component 46 includes a limiting plate 461 and a second bolt 463. The limiting plate 461 is installed on the drinking trough 1. The limiting plate 461 has a second connecting hole 462. The second bolt 463 passes through the corresponding second connecting hole 462. The outer wall of the drinking trough 1 has a second threaded groove 464, and the second bolt 463 is threadedly connected to the corresponding second threaded groove 464.
[0022] Four symmetrical grooves 41 are made on the inner wall of the water tank 1. The length of the grooves 41 is the same as the length of the inner wall of the water tank 1, and the depth is suitable to accommodate the sliders 42 and the balls 43. Each slider 42 is equipped with two balls 43, which are located at the left and right ends of the slider 42 respectively. Before installation, the slider 42 can be aligned with the groove 41 and slid in to test whether the slider 42 slides smoothly. If it is stuck, the position of the balls 43 needs to be adjusted or the inner wall of the groove 41 needs to be polished. When not draining, the drain pipe 7 at the bottom of the water tank 1 is sealed with a threaded pipe plug to prevent the water tank 1 from leaking. It will only be opened when draining is required.
[0023] When the inner wall of the water trough 1 needs cleaning, the worker stands at one end of the water trough 1, holds the handle 45, and slowly pushes the scraper 44 along the length of the water trough 1 through the handle 45. At this time, the scraper 44 drives the slider 42 to slide in the groove 41. The ball bearings 43 on the slider 42 roll and contact the inner wall of the groove 41, converting sliding friction into rolling friction, reducing pushing resistance, and the worker can easily push the scraper 44. The outer wall of the scraper 44 fits tightly against the inner wall of the water trough 1. During the movement, the scraper 44 scrapes away scale, feed residue, livestock hair and other dirt from the inner wall. The scraped dirt is discharged from the drain pipe 7 with the residual water flow. If there is stubborn dirt on the inner wall, spray an appropriate amount of aquaculture-specific cleaning agent (meeting food-grade standards) onto the inner wall of the drinking trough 1 before pushing the scraper 44 to avoid contaminating the subsequent drinking water. Let it stand for five minutes before pushing the scraper 44. After cleaning, rinse the inner wall of the drinking trough 1 with clean water 2-3 times. Finally, close the drain pipe 7 and restore automatic water supply.
[0024] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, a support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water trough 1. It should be noted that the support frame 2 is fixed to the bottom of the outer wall of the water trough 1 by welding, and preferably symmetrically installed on both sides of the outer wall along the length of the water trough 1 to ensure balanced support and prevent the water trough 1 from tipping over due to the shift of the center of gravity after being filled with water.
[0025] In summary, this utility model achieves automatic water replenishment through the control component 3. When the water level in the drinking trough 1 drops, the float 35 drops with the water level and no longer blocks the water inlet pipe 31, allowing the water inlet pipe 31 to replenish water into the drinking trough 1. When the water level rises to the preset height, the float 35 rises and blocks the water inlet pipe 31 again, stopping water replenishment. This eliminates the need for frequent manual water addition by staff, reducing labor intensity and ensuring that livestock have sufficient drinking water at all times.
